VP Candidate #TimWalz’s Motorcade Accident

[00:00:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You're listening to Casual Talk Radio, where common sense is still the norm.

[00:00:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether you're a new or a long time listener, we appreciate you joining us today.

[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Visit us at CasualTalkReadyO.net and now here's your host, Lister.

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome, welcome, welcome.

[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I am going to be kind of going in three different directions today.

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Only because there was a couple of topics I purposely set my mind on and then something else happened.

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And hopefully, I hope that I come across this tin foil.

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I actually, I'm hoping that I do because I'm hoping that it encourages others to become tin foil like myself.

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm probably going to fail but I'm going to try.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to try my hardest here.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So let me get the first step out of the way here.

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: There's been a lot of incidents with candidate Trump now and motorcade incidents and plain incidents, JD events, plain incidents.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Now Tim Walsh, Motorcade, get an accident, not to be fair.

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He gets an accident in one of the cities that has one of the worst rates for car accidents.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So consider him a lucky cat if he was in the motorcade at the time.

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I ran the numbers on this comparatively.

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've driven in multiple places.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't drive as much as I used to but I've driven multiple places.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I've driven in Florida all over and arguably Florida is a very dangerous place to drive.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It just is mostly the freeway, not the city streets, but the freeway.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't care.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_00]: They do not care.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_00]: California can be, but it's not as bad.

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And I haven't been there in a while, but it's not as bad.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Nevada is there are spots where it's an Oregon.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Oregon's not too bad on the freeway, but then city streets is like, what?

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Washington State.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Washington State you wouldn't expect it to be because of the, you know, it's green and it's wide open.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I think I told the story about the grandma and it was this is a two lane, right?

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a two lane and she takes this off ramp and then she stops and then she backs down the off ramp

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_00]: because apparently it was the wrong exit.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I've only ever seen that twice in my life here in, when I was in Washington State

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_00]: and then in Oregon, I think I saw one person do it out in Cleveland area.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Oregon, I don't understand that.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I really don't.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry because it's like the most dangerous thing you can do is to back down, you know, roll backwards in a freeway situation.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I was told that that's a common thing somewhere in the south, so maybe that's what it is.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: North Dakota is pretty darn safe.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Did not have any issues there.

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Utah was so safe because there was nobody out there that, right?

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I had to hold the nobody problems except for that one.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I stopped at a gas station and I was trying to, I can't remember the order of operations.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I was trying to use a debit card, pretty sure it's what it is.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And it was like the guy was like, I'm trying to remember the exact order of operations but I think the guy was like, yeah, no debit cards here,

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_00]: or something like that.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a bizarre response that I didn't expect at the time where he just didn't,

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't accept that particular type of payment and I had to give cash.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what the order was, which I've never heard this before but whatever.

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Colorado didn't have any major issues.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_00]: The worst part of Colorado was the train.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Did not any problems there.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Connecticut didn't have any problems.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Minneapolis didn't have any problems.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And then so then I get to, let's say states like Wisconsin Iowa Iowa wasn't too bad.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Wisconsin, so Wisconsin's weird because it's like there's two, there's two sides in the story.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_00]: There's the side close to Minneapolis which I was familiar with and it's pretty laid back low key no issues.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And then there's the coast, you know like green bay area and I went to I had a client out there.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So she had a bank. I don't mind telling.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So she had a bank was a client at one time in the past.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So I was out there on travel at flew in to the,

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_00]: what is Austin Strabble.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe it is airport, rented a car, drove,

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: and it, it feels like a slum out there.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But what stood out was how weird people,

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_00]: people, it was almost like nobody was taught how to drive.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_00]: It was the weirdest thing because like in Florida you can tell they were taught how to drive.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: They just don't care about the rules.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It's different.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_00]: There, it's like people weren't taught how to drive.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, nobody's using signals, nobody's respecting the stop signs, nobody's respecting the stop lights.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Fully like you'll see.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: People just start rolling forward with the lights still red because they are anticipating it going.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But you're not supposed to really do that because of the crosswalks.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That kind of stuff where they were not taught.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I felt like they were not taught how to handle these situations.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So I would learn later because I had gone green bay,

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I had gone down through, like Chicago, Chicago is bad.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_00]: That whole coastal stretch is just, it doesn't make any sense.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Because Washington state, which is coastal, the part that I'm talking about,

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_00]: it has like smattering of weird bad drivers.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But again, if they're just disregarding the rules.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I knew grandma, she knew the rules, she just disregarded them.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But the coast over here, it's like they're none the number taught.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I was running numbers.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Statistically, the probability of getting into a car accident is significantly higher.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_00]: The closer you are to some sort of a coast.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand that.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I really, I don't, but it correlates to what my experience was.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Because in all the situations where I was close to a coast,

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_00]: that's Washington state for sure.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That's Florida for sure.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And then this stretch that goes pretty much from,

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: curves from let's say Dayton, I'll say Dayton, Cleveland.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_00]: So between those and then curving through Chicago, you know, Illinois.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_00]: For those of you don't know, curves up through the coastal side of Wisconsin.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_00]: It does seem to correlate to an end of brief period that I was in New York.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_00]: It does seem to correlate that when you're closer to the water from whatever reason,

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_00]: people lose all care.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm saying that walls is lucky to have gotten out of there with this faculties intact.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And whether or not Donald Trump said, oh, or a city, I don't think matters.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_00]: But because I don't know, I'm saying that I don't know that it, because this happened in Milwaukee.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's the city.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just for whatever reason, near a coast, all bets are off.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And so if you do still drive and maybe you live near or your coast tour,

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_00]: your headed to a coastal something, perhaps something to keep in mind for safety reasons.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I, and fortunately, he's okay. You don't want somebody to get injured or anything.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But I do see a weird statistical, you know,

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_00]: oddness to the fact that everybody in this race, minus Tamil Harris has now been in some sort of a,

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, incident that they should not have been.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And I would hope, see if I'm advising any of the candidate sides.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm telling them, this is why your campaign should be, you use this, right?

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not sure if you're going to be in a national talk about the lack of safety.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about the incidents increasing.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about like with JV advances in mechanical errors and Trump's and mechanical errors.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about, you know what, buildings have to control if we're going to fix that.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_00]: You talk about this because everybody knows it.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_00]: We've seen the planes.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_00]: We saw the door blow off the whatever.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So talk about this with on the Democrat side.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. You've got a situation that should not have happened.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Motorcade incidents have happened.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I believe Barack Obama had one.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_00]: If I'm recalling correctly, I believe he had one.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_00]: It's happened.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But walls is should not have happened if you look at the news on what happened in the situation.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Shouldn't have happened in the truth is chances are somebody was trying to hard break because they're trying to avoid it incident.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Then they cause one.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's, you're taught not to do that but sometimes it happens.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not blaming the drivers or any of this.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying use it.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about it.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about road safety.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't, and this is the temptation.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't talk about what we need to get rid of roads and go to bikes and the th uh that's not the answer.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_00]: The answer is there needs to be more safety on the roads by way of technology.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_00]: If this is where technology can help you in if it's implemented properly and actually use like it's supposed to be done.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And education to some degree plays a part because it feels like as I said.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Some of them either were not taught or they just ignored the lessons to get past it.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you, the last barrier of being able to get that license should be the behind the wheel testing.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So if they pass the behind the wheel testing and then they get out there they're doing whatever.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_00]: What's the span of time from when they should have passed that test?

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_00]: If we're talking okay, they just got their license and they're doing this kind of stuff.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that means there's no way they could of either the behind the wheel test is faulting.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It's possible.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's an inside job.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the person who's doing the screening is giving them a pass on stuff that they knew happened.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_00]: You can use technology to avert that you can use technology to detect and I'm talking prior to them getting a license.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Detect these kind of instances where they're likely going to be a dangerous driver.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's as simple as a camera if you think about it.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm only talking about prior to them getting the license, right?

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're looking are they actually looking left and right before they do a thing.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Are they actually full stopping? Are they actually using the signals and then let the technology test them and score them.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Not a human where that human might cheat on their behalf.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying that's happening.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying how can it be that there are these situations where it seems like people disregard what you should have been taught.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the last.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the age of safety and they're still getting out and there's still causing this situation.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Some of them I saw like it was a little girl and her kid had some injury or something.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So but the point is she.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Her license was expired for who knows how long.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, how come you didn't get it renewed?

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It's question number one.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And so she drives and she causes a major incident and somebody else dies because she was trying to rush to get to the hospital for her kid.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Why aren't you rushing to get to the freaking D and V to get your license renewed? They would have issued you a temporary one and then rush to get your kid.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_00]: What did it have a vert of the incident? I don't know.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I know sometimes they'll subject you to some sort of a test.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_00]: If they see that something's out of whack like say your license expired for extended period, the required to go through the test to get why didn't that happen.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying there's there are ways to help get ahead of what we're seeing why it's coastal isn't, I don't think we can explain that.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps just a laidback mentality but I don't think that's it either.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying that we could do war and the candidate side should be using this as an opportunity to pitch in cell safety overall because that's a concern.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_00]: That's one of these bottom concerns that's not being promoted like I think it should be.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_00]: The economy still matters.

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_00]: It's my priority one for sure.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And I have a saying and this is my saying, you know what? I'm not even going to share it here yet.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought about getting a sign and putting it on the yard but I thought my neighbors might be my consider me in that case.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'll just tell you.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought about doing the sign well one neighbor, should say neighbors one neighbor, my thing on my nut case.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter who I vote for it matters who you vote for.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's my saying.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm owning that.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm on record so you can tell somebody steals it.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And the point is it doesn't matter who I vote for right? It matters who you vote for.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Think about what that's saying.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It's saying that why does everybody care what somebody else is voting for or who somebody else is voting for?

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You should you should care about you voting for and I've always said,

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_00]: vote with your principles. Don't vote with your heart.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_00]: What's the policy that's supported and it may be that it's in contradict what you were taught as a kid.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And what was instilled in you as the only way to vote.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And I did a coverage online years ago where I said, don't vote which heart because you're going to run into these situations where we have the same leadership that doesn't fix these issues.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you have to do disruptive change.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm dealing with this with my endeavor right now.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: We're trying to hire a person that would ultimately support me in terms of the analysis pieces.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I can do the analysis but it helps that somebody else offload some of this.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I, we found a person. I think the person has raw potential. She's raw. She's young.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_00]: She makes some mistakes. She's not at that level that they're hoping for.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand. It's a very expensive ask trying to get that person is very expensive.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_00]: So you can't expect somebody to roll up in the door with the straight skills like myself but at a rate that's arguably,

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think it's half of what I do or it's even lower than half the one I know.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to do it. If you, if you're at the high level, they're not going to accept that pay.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand and it's not their fault. It there's other factors but they don't understand.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You've got to compete at the nationwide level a lot of companies compete at the regional level. Okay. Well in the state, this is whatever the real software.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll just go with the median or that. No, you know, no, no, you have to compete nationwide. That means you got to compete with the Boston to the world who charts 250 grand for stuff.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_00]: You've got to compete at that level. That means your stuff's got to go up if you want those people because they know they're, they got the skills.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_00]: The reason I accepted it's because at the end of the day, I was already reasonably close to my rate.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't what I wanted but I knew I could prove to them. I was worth it and then we bumped it now way over it.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not full time. I don't work for them. I work with them. This would be a full time with them and I'm trying to help them understand.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You're, I'm sorry, your methodology for getting people is jacked up and that's why it's been hard for you to get and retain good people because you're not paying enough for this. That's the truth.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't work full time for you because you're not even come close to what my rate would be if I were full time. So I would never accept such a request.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll work for you as a contractor because it's giving me what I deserve to get paid.

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So this person we find, again, she's got raw potential. She makes some mistakes. She's just never been taught. She's never had a mentor mentorship is something that's been lacking in many of these companies. It's not just this one.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand that sometimes you need to mentor somebody up to a thing. This used to be the way it was. You would pair them with somebody who's going, who has the same energy to bring them up to a level,

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: especially when they just have small things to refine and here to be fair.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: They lack people that have the same energy that I do and know and confidence and know that they can help somebody get to that level because somebody helped me.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I know what it is now. I know what mistakes I made. I know what I had to learn. I know what she is the only simple thing she's got and there's simple things.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_00]: She's got the knowledge. She has the potential there. She clearly has done stuff. It's just that these are things that you have to refine in a workplace scenario which we, the other piece,

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_00]: we have to all recognize the younger generations. They're in a social media world. They're in a technology world. There might be fresh out of school and they're,

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_00]: they're talkative. They want to make friends and everything and the harsh reality is that when you get in the work, when you're in, when you walk in that door,

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: virtual or physical, when you walk in that door to the office, you got to switch it off. Switch it off. It doesn't mean you don't try to be friendly. It doesn't mean you don't try to be cordial.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean that you don't put yourself in a situation where you are one of the team. I'm saying that your mannerisms, your personality, your demeanor,

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: the way you speak, the way you care yourself has to be completely different than what you would do in your home.

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what a hardest lessons that I think people encounter when they start working and they're young in the career and the one thing that's holding her back is she's jumped from job to job.

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a negative against her. The fact is women are more likely to be job hoppers. Now you have to look at what's the reasoning behind it. You can't ask,

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_00]: but you have to think about the possible reasons why that is. Maybe they just, they were having kids, maybe they were going back to college,

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe they were having physical ailments, maybe they were taking care of somebody. There's also the reasons why somebody might have been doing it.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't hold that against them, but I do reinforce. This is the expectations of the role and think of it this way for me.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm telling, think of it this way. You hire that person if they're going to move on, they're going to move on.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't, it's not our fault at the end of the day. Our job is to make it appealing enough that they don't want to leave.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_00]: That's our job. We own that responsibility. I can't get them to understand how simple that is because they're saying,

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_00]: no, we should get this superstar coming in here and they should be able to hit the ground running within two weeks. It's like,

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_00]: no, that's not reality. I didn't do that because there was lack of documentation. Nobody was mentoring me. Nobody was assisting me.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was getting bad directions left and right. My earlier episodes, I was ranting about it.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not reality. Everything is new when you're coming in. It's a new relationship. You've got to get used to them. They've got to use to us.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_00]: We don't have documentation. We still don't have sufficient documentation. They're their job is to help us create it. Well, that means they got to learn the stuff and they got to learn all the different players

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: and they got to tiptoe around politics and they got to understand your expectations as a manager

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_00]: and all this documentation that I think is stupid. You're going to settle them that they have to do and they have to balance time management

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and do time sheets and other nonsense. You don't understand how challenging that actually is. You think it's simple because you're in a bubble.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But the truth is anybody who's new, it takes an acclamation period and usually that acclamation period is a minimum 90 days. Minimum.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's assuming the person's got the energy and the desire should just stick with it and deal with it even though it sucks.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Not everybody does. Some people are like screw it. I'm not going to do this. There are newer hires. We have three folks that were newer. They work in a different area.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Each one of them had called out concerns about the lack of mentoring, the lack of documentation and everything's kind of willing to lay it up in the air.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, everybody has the same complaint. So when do you start, I'm telling the company, when do you start changing the game and just take it a different direction and do it differently and then the response is,

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_00]: well, we don't have people that are willing to mentor. Yes, you do. You're not making them do it.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_00]: But that should be their job. Like this should be part of your job. You are required to mentor people on the team. You are required to help them succeed. If you don't help them succeed, it things against you because it's like I'm it's so simple, right?

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So I took it on. I said, look, if you get if you let me work with her, I guarantee you, I guarantee you this is how confident based on the conversation.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee you eventually she will surpass me because that's she has that raw potential to do it. She's never been taught things.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_00]: How it works in the work and how you just express yourself and how you answer questions and how you guide meetings and how you manage time and how you get to the point she's never been refined.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to do it all the time just when you're in the meeting. All the way, do think it would help you outside.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But learning how to guard real your response getting to the point specific messaging doesn't mean you stop talking and I conclude he tells she's extroverted.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: No problem. It doesn't mean you discourage extroversion. It simply means you put guard rules around it. Sometimes an answer is too much. Sometimes the message is too much. Sometimes you don't need to explain. Sometimes you don't need a story.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Read the person you're talking to to understand whether you need to go a little bit further. Don't advance offer it. Just read the room and understand if they it looks like they're going to need a little bit more out of you then go ahead and offer it. You know, no problem. That's easy to train.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand that. They would rather have somebody that say technical robot that can go down bullets and explain something out of a book. That's the people that they favor.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And then those people get in and then they complain that those people can't run a meeting themselves. Well, of course, the people side is the hardest to get. So it's it's a gym. If you can find it, you can cultivate it.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_00]: The technical can always be taught anybody can learn the technical anybody can learn the technical but you cannot teach the people side. You can refine it, you can't teach it. So this is my story of what I'm continuing with and the reason why I've made decisions strategic decisions like let me pull back a little bit on the podcasts all of them. Let me just kind of refine messaging refine schedule and refine these things and then.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Deal with the home off the side. Until I get to a point that I am satisfied with all of it and that may not come, by the way.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_00]: But until I get to a point of my own satisfaction, let me just pull this back refine it, show it up because I've got to get I've got to help them understand this is the way that this works. This is the way it's supposed to work.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I know you'd have a done it before, so either you trust me, it can't. If you don't, that's fine. But until you do, you're going to keep banging your head against the wall and just hit that hard truth on it. Right. So the reason I told that second story piggyback straight off the first is because when I'm looking at all the candidates now presidential candidates.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Kamala Harris's main complaint against her is she doesn't know how to present. She doesn't know how to talk. She does not explain. She doesn't know how to justify.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_00]: She sounds good saying nothing is the way we use this express it. She sounds good saying nothing. She says nothing.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Megan Kelly put together a montage of her basically saying the exact same lines and every single thing as she just does little tweaks, but it's the same exact words.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: There are some people that's what you do. Donald Trump, he has his billions and billions of dollars.

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Line. But every single speech is just enough difference to where he comes across like a whatever.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_00]: There are people that don't like him doing interviews and that kind of stuff because he tends to go on personal tax.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Those people are not there beyond salvation because they're still focused on how they feel about the guy and not the policies because if you focus on the policies,

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Kamala Harris has had nothing to say. Tim Walls comes from a state, Minneapolis, Minnesota. He comes from a state where they sent tanks down the street shooting at people sitting on the porch because he put a curfew in place during the pandemic.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So we already know what his approach is to these you know, he's governed right government control lockout.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_00]: That's fine if you're okay with that. If you want to live under fear, so we knew from messaging those two. How they are going to try to handle stuff it's obvious there they're unfortunately transparent about how they would handle things.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Kamala Harris is if I were advising and the sad truth is I don't think she can get away with.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not advising of a never put a rep on any sort of meeting stage any sort of debate stage anything where she's speaking because all she can do is fall back to the women argument abortion argument black argument.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all she can really do to get cheers from the crowd her policies don't make any sense because she's in office now there are things she could be doing that she's not doing and nobody's challenging.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_00]: In my mind sufficiently you're in office now why don't you do these things now you can do it now. Why are we talking about what you would do as president what's stopping you who stopping you why don't you do it now and she doesn't have a viable answer because she's never been taught.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_00]: How to express those in a way that's going to strengthen her case so I'm telling the whole story on of how this all keys in.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Both sides both sides struggle with how to message in a way that helps people focus because unfortunately people don't understand how to prioritize the right things in evaluating someone.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_00]: In the workplace again they don't know how to evaluate somebody that has this type of potential and they're only focused on their mechanical list of technology stuff and then they complain when the person doesn't have the other side.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_00]: What's going to I think happen if people end up voting for common la heres you get up in there and it's going to be screwed up and then we're going to hear people complaining again.

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So I've used in my platform to emphasize why it's critical that if you look at somebody it's got raw potential to get us what we want.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It just means you got to refine some of this stuff and there are opportunities to do that in the presidential situation.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_00]: If you notice the pattern of Donald Trump he goes wherever the voters tell him to go he will she will shift gears he's not hit like Obama.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_00]: No, this is the way it's got to be and he doesn't care about the voice of the people Donald Trump has he just did it he just said for the Florida I'm going to vote no on that I think it's good.

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_00]: After he had supported it he goes with the wins of the voters that's what you should want and a candidate is somebody who's willing to learn and adjust according to what his people say.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we lack that's what we are missing that's what everybody doesn't understand you go with who is in support of your base I support you because you are my base.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_00]: There's only one side that's like that. Kamala is not like that Tim walls is not like that they want to dictate down this is what we're going to do and you're going to like it to appeal to the subset of loud vocals like a ton bird.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Donald Trump's one that'll say a bunch of stuff because it sounds good and then he hears the voice of the people squawking a bit and then he'll shift.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_00]: People are like well, why are you flipping because he listens to the voice of his voters that's what we should want.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: We should want somebody who's going to go where the voice of the voters go not somebody who's going to dictate we've already had dictate.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_00]: We had dictate under a baller we had dictate under a job item perhaps now you need somebody who listen and actually say this is somebody that's probably going to steer us in the better direction.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_00]: They just need to be refined in the right direction. If we don't choose that person we have a lear cells to blame and that's that's unfortunate and sad.
